    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    I’m down to having a little bit of faith in RdZ and a strong belief that the law of averages has to kick in at some point. What’s happening to us is pretty much unprecedented. It defies all logic.

    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    F**k it, I’ll say it now. I don’t think we are going down. Our form has to turn and it will. This team has more than enough ability to get out of the mess and we have a good manager in place to get something good out of them. These lads have what BoL described as the yips when it comes to PL...

    The *WHEN* we go down thread

    I don’t think you could say the board had us on this trajectory for years. We were on a downward trend from 2018 but it wasn’t trending near relegation. No established club I can remember went from 4th, 8th, 5th to 17th and 18th. Forest in 1992/93 is as close a parallel as I can recall but...

    100% it isn’t all down to the coach. And I agreed that finishing top half this year would be a decent achievement. You don’t go from 17th to 4th or 5th in the league. It very, very rarely happens even allowing for the extenuating circumstances. However, I think there was a near unanimous belief...

    Think the worrying thing for me, on reflection this morning, is that I’m of the belief that this group just needs a kick start or to be freed from the stress/pressure they are under. De Zerbi was our last chance to do that, literally our last roll of the dice and it’s something you’d assume a...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    On a related but kind of irrelevant note, and I fudging love the man completely, I always thought Poch crying after Ajax was a mistake. Wasn’t a good look from our leader and we’d only won a semi final.

    So that’s two. Neither from PL clubs. We could have loaned two more from anywhere.

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    We can have 4 on loan but not more than two can be from the Premier League and not more than one from any club. Who have we on loan? Muani? Lange had room for manoeuvre in January with loans or am I misunderstanding the rules?

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    His reputation will be absolutely destroyed if we go down. No way he gets a job at this level again. Absolutely incompetent IMO.

    To paraphrase Norm Peterson, the footballing gods treat us like a baby treats a diaper. If we go down, it’s gonna be Chelsea.

    If we are to go down, I’d rather it was like that than having Chelsea send us down or it happening on the last day. The worst thing is watching the car crash unfold slowly. If it’s to happen, I’d rather it was as quick as possible.

    Romero being out may not be a bad thing. I think he’s a tremendous player but how he’s played and conducted himself in recent months has been poor. Especially as captain. Danso is a very capable replacement.

    Defensively, we were decent. Keep the back 4 plus Danso fit and that gives a bit of (relative) solidity. I didn’t think Sunderland were great but they didn’t create a huge amount of good chances. On the flip side, we were dogbrick going forward. RdZ has a reputation for attacking football. If he...

    We need 8-10 points from 6 games. Two of those are away to Chelsea and Villa. The margins have gotten incredibly tight. It’s still very possible but becoming less so by the week and we’ve no more levers to pull.

    +++ OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland 12th April 2026 +++

    As a team, right now, we are not. And we haven’t been for over a year, maybe two. But it’s absolutely unprecedented for a team comprised of this many internationals who were bought for this much money (even in relative terms) to go 15-20 games without a few wins. It’s beyond mind boggling when...

    +++ OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland 12th April 2026 +++

    I think there has got to be a burst somewhere. It’s unprecedented and incomprehensible that any half decent side would go 20 games without a few wins. We have wall to wall internationals and some great young talent. We also have a very good manager. I can’t believe that the law of averages...

    That’s what the club are gambling RdZ can do I guess. They’ve dealt him a really bricky hand. Be interesting to see if he can play it. Personally I’d start Xavi all day as we have no one else to create. The only place he fits in that system is where Bergvall was playing.

    That’s the point though. Aside from the first 5 minutes we created close to nothing. We need to win games, not draw games. The best we’d have gotten from today was a draw really. Unless we can start creating more, and a lot more, we’re fudged.

    Yeah, look, I’m not angry at the manager. He’s just in the door. Just thought the performance not only lost us 3 points but there wasn’t much to hang your hat on. The board have had one last roll of the dice. The only lever available to them. This is now us until the end of the season and...

    Romero was fudging dreadful today. The booking is as stupid a tackle as you’ll see. No need to make it. He could (not saying should) have gone went he went through their lad and caught him in the back of the head. Romero has such talent but he’s a macaron. I’d rather Danso.
